Studio in Details
Overview
BlissPowered Yoga Studio, located in northeast Calgary, offers a welcoming space for practitioners at all levels. The studio is accessible via stairs to the second floor of a building shared with Stargate Physical Therapy, with ample free parking on site and additional parking nearby on 27th Street NE. Operating hours vary throughout the week: Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and again from 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm, with weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm. The studio uses infrared heating panels, which provide an even, comfortable warmth without the stuffiness often associated with traditional hot yoga. Class temperatures are currently set at 29°C for hot classes and 27°C for warm classes. The space features large windows that allow natural light and views of the sky, and candlelight classes are offered for a calming atmosphere. Change rooms with gender-specific showers are available, but the studio does not provide lockers; valuables should be left at home or locked in a vehicle.
Classes and Services
The class schedule includes a variety of styles to suit different needs and preferences. Hatha yoga is offered as a slower-paced practice focused on mindful movement and longer holds, promoting relaxation and body awareness. Yang/Yin classes combine an energizing Yang segment emphasizing muscular strength and stamina with a cooling Yin portion targeting the hips, pelvis, and spine in longer, passive holds. Restorative yoga uses props such as blankets and bolsters to fully support the body, encouraging deep relaxation and stress relief, and is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or dealing with insomnia. Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a guided meditation practiced in Savasana that guides the brain into deep states of relaxation. The studio also hosts Seva Series classes, donation-based sessions (suggested $10 cash) where proceeds go to fundraising projects chosen by the teacher, reflecting the studio’s commitment to community service. Pricing options include a two-week intro offer for $39, monthly unlimited memberships with automatic billing, a 10-class pass valid for six months, and single drop-in passes good for one month. A late cancellation or no-show fee of $15 applies to reservations cancelled within two hours of class start time.
